5．Why Laughter Matters
Although most people believe that laughter is one of the nature's great treatments for a whole range of mental and physical diseases，it is still a serious scientific subject that researchers are trying to figure out．
"Laughter above all else is a social thing，"says Baltimore neuroscientist，Robert Provine，who has studied laughter for decades．"All laughter groups laugh‘ha-ha-ha'basically the same way．Whether you speak Mandarin，F(xiàn)rench or English，everyone will understand laughter．There is a pattern generator（發(fā)生器） in our brain that produces this sound．"
Laughing is our first way of communicating．Babies laugh long before they speak．No one teaches them how to laugh．They just do．People may laugh at a prank（惡作�。� on April Fools'day．But surprisingly，only 10to 15percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke．Laughter is mostly about social responses rather to a joke．Deaf people laugh without hearing and people on cell phones laugh without seeing，showing that laughter isn't dependent on single sense but on social interactions．
And laughter is not just a people thing．Chimps tickle（撓癢） each other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them．
Jaak Panksepp，a Bowling Green University Psychology professor，studies rats that laugh when he tickles them．It turns out rats love to be tickled-they return again and again to the hands of researchers tickling them．
By studying rats，scientists can figure out what's going on in the brain during laughter．Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor，Jeffrey Burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant（抗抑郁藥）．He thinks the same thing probably happens in humans，too．This would give doctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression．
Even so，laughter itself has not been proved to be the best medicine，experts said．Margaret Stuber，a professor at University of California，studied whether laugher helped patients．She found that distraction（分心） and mood improvement helped，but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone．
"No study has shown that laughter produces a direct health benefit，"Provine said，largely because it's hard to separate laughter from just feeling good．But he thinks it doesn't really matter："Isn't the fact that laughter feels good when you do it enough？"

67．The most important finding of Robert Provine's research is thatA．
A．laughter makes a person feel good
B．laughter depends on different senses
C．laughter is a quality people are born with
D．laughter is a social response shared by all creatures
68．According to the passage，scientists studied rats in order to findC．
A．if they can laugh
B．if they like laughing
C．what laughter in rats produces
D．how rats react while being tickled
69．What can we learn from the passage？B
A．Patients will recover if they laugh enough．
B．Laughter is a means of communication as well as language．
C．A new medicine has been developed based on the laughter research．
D．Scientists can know what is happening in a human brain when he laughs．
70．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？D

CP：Central point   P：Point   Sp：Sub-point（次要點(diǎn)）   C：Conclusion．

6．James Arruda Henry，a 98-year-old retired lobsterman，has written and published his first book，"In a Fisherman's Language"，after learning to read at the incredible age of 91．
Mr．Henry spent most of his life without even his closest family members knowing he was illiterate （文盲）．Forced to quit school in the third grade to take some jobs，he kept the secret close to his chest-only telling to his late wife．
A family problem in his 90s sparked his encourage to restart his education．"He signed a document he could not read，"Mr．Henry's granddaughter said．And then，after hearing about George Dawson，a son of slaves who learned to read at the age of 98 and went on to write a book of his own，entitled"Life Is So Good"at the age of 101，Mr．Henry took up reading．
"If he can do it．I'm going to try，"Mr．Henry said．Starting with his name．he eventually moved on to ABC's and children's books．He put them down for four years after the tragic loss of his wife．But eventually he went back to reading and with the help of his tutor began to record his life．
He wrote about his family's voyage from Portugal to the U．S．his many journeys at sea and how he was unable to save another fisherman who had fallen overboard．He became a carpenter and even a professional boxer-and eventually built his own home in Stonington Borough．
His life stories have become so popular，in fact，nearly 800 copies were sold in the first two weeks of the book's release last month．One thousand more have since been printed as requests for the book flood in from as far as Germany．And now even Hollywood producers have approached Mr．Henry about optioning the rights to his life story for a big screen adaptation．

3．"The first and best of victories for a man is to conquer himself； to be conquered by himself is，of all things，the most shameful，"says Plato．Self-control is at the root of all the advantages．Let a man give in to his impulses （沖動(dòng)） and feelings，and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom．
A single angry word has lost many friends．When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger，he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself．If you are conscious of being angry，keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger．Many a person has dropped dead in great anger．Fits of anger bring fits of disease．"Whoever the gods would destroy，they first make them mad．""Keep cool，"says Webster，"anger is not argument．""Be calm in arguing，"says George Herbert，"for fierceness （狂怒） makes error a fault．"
To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself．"Anger，"says Pythagoras，"begins with foolishness and ends with regret．"You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers，not by the power of those which conquer him．
Self-control is man's last and greatest victory．
If a man lacks self-control he seems t o lack everything．Without it he can have no patience，no power to govern himself； he can have no self-confidence，for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling．If he lacks self-control，the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking too．
28．What's the main idea of the passage？A
A．Self-control is important for a man．
B．We should learn to be strong．
C．A man who keeps cool won't lose any game．
D．The great heroes in history knew how to control themselves．
29．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean？D
A．If you are mad，the gods will fail you．
B．If you lose your temper first，gods will fail you first．
C．If you can't control yourself，you will be crazy．
D．If the gods want to fail you，they will make you mad first．
30．Which of the following is NOT true，according to passage？C
A．The first and best of victories for a man is to conquer himself．
B．You will make a small mistake serious if you don't keep cool．
C．You must measure a man's strength by the power of the feelings which conquer him．

31．Which of the following can't help you avoid anger，according to the passage？D

4．Smoking is the single worst thing you can do for your health．Fortunately，it's never too late to get the benefits of quitting．If you've tried to quit before and failed，it's time to make up your mind and try again．
Smoking is responsible for one of every five deaths．That includes 29% of all cancer deaths，87% of all lung cancer deaths，and nearly 20% of all deaths from cardiovascular disease．But long before smoking kills you，it ages you．You can see for yourself that smoking accelerates the drying and wrinkling of the skin．But there are less obvious effects as well．Indeed，smoking takes years away from your life．Nearly half of all chronic smokers die an average of 20 to 25 years before their time．
Besides an early death from cancer or heart disease，smoking can cause lung disorders．People who smoke over a pack a day have almost three times the risk of contracting pneumonia（肺炎） than that of nonsmokers．By lowering levels of estrogen（雌激素）in men and women，smoking speeds bone less．If a woman smokes a pack of cigarettes every day，she will enter menopause（更年期）with 5 to 10% less bone mass than a nonsmoker．
The good news is that no matter what your age is or how long you've smoked，you'll live longer if you quit today．The Coronary Artery Surgery Study examined nearly 2，000 long-term smokers over age 54．Those who quit had significantly lower death rates six years later than those who didn't．Even the oldest ex-smokers had a higher survival rate．
Not only will live longer if you quit，you'll feel better，breathe easier，and find that you have more energy．You'll have fewer respiratory infections，headaches，and stomachaches．What's more，you'll save money．Your clothes and breath won't smell unpleasant any longer．And your habit won't annoy-or threaten the health of-the people who live and work with you．

54．What is the passage mainly about？C
A．The ways of quitting smoking．
B．The harm of smoking to people．
C．The benefits of quitting smoking．
D．The relationships between smoking and diseases．
55．According to the passage，the percentage of deaths due to smoking isA
A.20%   B.25%   C.29%   D.87%
56．All of the following methods are used in the passage EXCEPTB
A．giving exmples   B．mentioning famous sayings
C．comparing       D．listing numbers
57．What do we know from the Coronary Artery Surgery Study？D
A．It examined about 2，000 smokers who all quit smoking finally．
B．Quitting smoking is easier said than done
C．Long-term smokers should quit smoking gradually
D．Quitting smoking always has a good effect on people's health．

9．Left alone for over a month after the sad death of their owner，cats Roly Poly and Pudding never stood much of a chance．Amazingly，however，the lucky pair survived thanks to their vast fat．
Police found the fat cats after reports of a smell coming from their elderly owner's home in Walsall，West Midlands．Both cats were close to death，but had kept on diet although having no access to food．When officers found the pair，they were still overweight at over nine kilos t-more than twice the weight of a normal cat．
RSPCA inspectors believe the cats managed to stay alive because of their owner's feeding habits，and could have been even heavier before they were discovered．
Judith Haw，from the RSPCA，said，"The cats were obviously much-loved by their owner，but perhaps a bit too much．We think the lady didn't have any relatives who could care for the cats and she didn't have time to let anyone else know．The cats did not have access to any food and were using the house as a toilet，so police were called when neighbors complained about the smell．"
Judith said the cats，which are being eared for at Foxtwood Cattery near Stoke，need a new home with a perfect parent who would be a health-conscious fitness fanatic （狂熱者）．She also said，"We'd love to find the cats a personal trainer or perhaps someone who is on a diet so they can help the cats lose weight，too．"

56．Which of the following is mentioned in the text？A
A．The cats are being looked after near Stoke．
B．Inspectors from RSPCA called the police．
C．The lady had time to let anyone else know her death．
D．The cats are twice heavier than a normal cat．
57．RSPCA inspectors thought the cats can survive owing toA．
A．their owner's feeding habits
B．too much food
C．their owner's love
D．RSPCA's careful attending
58．According to Judith，the catsC．
A．were left alone for a month
B．needed a toilet
C．should be fed scientifically
D．gave off some terrible smell
59．We can infer from the passage thatD．
A．the lady didn't have any relatives
B．the cats might have had nowhere to stay
C．police found the pair in Walsall
D．the cats'owner massively overfed them．
